Bonus point cap is 7 points.
 
Make-up Test: Make-up written (not skills) tests may be given with an excused absence, but it is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor immediately upon missing a test to arrange for make-up tests. Unexcused make- ups may be given with 10 points per day reduction, but not on skills tests.
 
Attendance: Attendance is required. You may miss two classes without being penalized. For each additional unexcused absence, your final grade will be reduced by two points. Excused absences must be pre-approved by Mrs. Barnette or approved by the Undergraduate Dean's Office. No other excuses will be accepted. Those students not using the acceptable amount of cuts will have 2 bonus point per absence added to their final point total. Entering class after roll call is considered tardy. Three tardies will equal one absence on point deductions. Anyone missing three or more absences excused will not be eligible for bonus points from attendance.
 
Honor System: The College of Charleston Honor System is recognized in this course. For the specific details of responsibility and penalty, see the current issue of the College of Charleston Student Handbook. Take special note of the following NEW policy concerning grades and cheating. “Cases of suspected academic dishonesty will be reported directly to the Dean of Students.  A student found responsible for academic dishonesty will receive a XF in the course, indicating failure of the course due to academic dishonesty.  This grade will appear on the student’s transcript for two years after which the student may petition for the X to be expunged.  The student may also be placed on disciplinary probation, suspended (temporary removal) or expelled (permanent removal) from the College by the Honor Board.”
